As I reconfigure and customize my mechs, the name I originally gave to them when I bought them don't necessarily match what fits them anymore.

Can we get the ability to rename our mechs anytime soon?

I hope so. It's a pretty simple thing I imagine, though it probably doesn't top a lot of other bug fixes.

Renaming and resorting mechs would both be good.

But you know they'll try to charge you an unjustifiable amount of MC to do it :P

+1 but also an addition... I want to be able to save a mech build and have an associated name to that build. So I can use different combinations and save what was most effective.

I envision simple save/load buttons. When you load a configuration, it would check to make sure you had all the components, if not, tell you how much it would be to purchase... confirm and voila!

We should make a poll on the issue. I'm sure many people just open this thread, think "I agree" and leave.

Yes please.
I usually keep my 'Mechs named for their model numbers (the default when purchasing them), but the option to rename them seems fairly simple and it's something I'm certain a lot of people would appreciate.
That being said, I have at least one I'd like to rename.

I agree totally, at the time of purchase its too much pressure for me to think of a decent name, knowing it will stick for good. Ability to change mech name is a simple addition but I think everyone would welcome it.

I agree with this completely. It can be incorporated into the Mechlab and no, it shouldnt cost much but maybe be limited to once every 30 days or something.

+1, though I kept the Stock Variant designation for easy identification. being able to rename would be a good add.

I'd like this option very, VERY much (including the extension to the character length for naming abilities).

Yeah, now that the game is somewhat live, the game should have this. Sometimes when i'm in a hurry, I don't want to think of a name, just leaving it what it came with. But, come on, renaming isn't that hard to put in.

MAKE IT HAPPEN ALREADY PGI

+1 for rename

+1 for bay reorganization

Both are extremely good ideas and hopefully implemented soon.
